Rimmer Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Pattaya to Clamp Down on Vendors and Peddlers on Beach RoadPATTAYA – May 16, 2014 [PDN];- at 13.00 pm. There had been a conference with the peace preservation and administrative department at Pataya City Hall. Mr.Anupong Putthanawarat- chief of the peace preservation and administrative department- chaired the conference and there were Pattaya’s members and those involved also attended the conference.At the conference they had discussed how to manage the vendors in Pattaya. Foreigners and Thais have complained to Pattaya’s administrator that the street vendors and peddlers who sell food and beverage on beach had sold it on the footpath and on the road causing traffic congestion and made the road dirty and smelly. Therefore Pataya’s administrators had ordered the committees to find a solution.Mr.Theerasak Jatupong- director of peace preservation and administrative department-revealed that the amount of municipal officers is insufficient to patrol the whole of Pattaya. Therefore they had patrolled Pattaya beach and they found a lot of vendors selling on beach road. As they had been informed the municipal officers can only catch them and fine them and can’t confiscate their belongings.

shirtless Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Its becoming more and more like Australia, as far as crackdowns are concerned , lets forget corruption and criminals lets attack the honest vendors trying to make a baht. they are law abiding so they are an easy mark.

guzzi850m2 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes I also rather see they clam hard down of prostitutes of both genders and all the drug addicts walking around there. It's easy to spot them so no excuses. In all my years in Thailand I never seen a police foot patrol anywhere, never. I know Thais hate to walk and in the sun too, horror horror, but they got the police station right on prime land on the mid of Beach Road but they rather stand 4 of them stopping scooters and write tickets. I got stopped 3 times last week but I think they know me now and leave me alone since I have everything in order. The police should buy some mountain bikes and patrol on them if they hate to walk so much but I suspect a pedal driven bike will be considered just as bad as walking as you might sweating if going fast.

After careful, shrewd detective work, you've managed to uncover some well-hidden inconsistencies in this most rational well-ordered society. Now we know. My dear ol' dad used to say, "It's always somethin'." Never fear: if City Hall fixed the above issues, there would be others for you to enjoy pointing at and alerting us to.

champers Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The problem here is that anyone vending on the pavements should only be doing so if they have paid (the Council?) first. For "special" occasions and between Christmas and New Year the pavement on Beach Road is absolutely thronged with stalls; all of whom have coughed up a fee for the privilege. I do hope they don't clamp down on the vendors on the actual beach. How else would I manage to get my banana cake, smoked fish, deep fried crab, prawns & chicken, fresh mussels & prawns, massage, CDs, books, papers, cigars, watches, shirts, towels, bedding, ice cream, nuts & crisps, eggs, etc, etc, etc without having to leave my deckchair? Judging by the way they all hide when the police drop by (a very rare occurrence) they are also illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pattaya city boy" Special friend of yours, is he? "publish it over and over again, no one take them seriously any more..." Sort of like the one-size-fits-all random complaints from some serial whiners on Thai Visa who seem to think they know all about how Thai police, politicians, vendors, shop-keepers, et al operate, apparently without ever leaving the keyboard or bar stool for long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell are you even in Pattaya with stupid remarks like that. I suppose it's because Pattaya is well known for all it's Churches and Monastries where you can go pray for the souls of those wicked females and gender benders.

Jackson86 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 what's wrong with selling food along roads? i think arresting illegal immigrants and other criminals are more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, making the beach dirty and smelly is not really important, but we really have to do something to keep the road clean for traffic.....

bartender100 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I walked along beach road today, its devoid of any attraction, no shade, very little seating, the only touts seem to be the jet-ski guy, well we know nothing will be done about them. A pretty boring, hot walk these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 How about starting with those blocking the roads completely during any festivals. I've stopped going completely to those events as they're nothing but two kilometers of huts selling the usual junk and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAWNEESE Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There has been many declarations from the Town Hall about stamping out Jetski scamming, so all their declarations a waste of time. It has not been affected at all. A week or so back a Jet Ski mafia guy made me delete photos from my camera. I had not realised a scam was in progress. 2 big back up brutes lerking behind him. I deleted the ones he wanted deleted. I,e anything in scammers direction even those half an hour before victims returned to shore. I did not want a 65,000 baht camera smashed. No point in saying I am on a public road ... Im calling the police. Me thinks they would just laugh for obvious reasons.

PAWNEESE Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks for that. Kind of you to reply. Plenty more sunsets (which was what I waiting for) will happen ... roughly one a day. I will give that bit of beach a miss though. Sent from my GT-N8000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-N8000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Pawneese, If you sit in a bar all afternoon and drink a copious amount of alcohol, I reckon you'll see 2 sunsets. Or you'll fall off your stool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
